When you press the PrintScreen key in Ubuntu, you will see a gnome-screenshot dialog box with options to save the image or Copy it to clipboard.

How about silently saving the image to some predefined location rather than popping up the dialog?

The Best Ubuntu Dock and How to install it in Ubuntu Intrepid amd64
I recently encountered a Youtube video which featured Gnome Do with Docky. Then I dumped the Cairo Dock I was using and replaced it with Gnome Do. I have also tried kiba-dock which is quite buggy (it is in developement). I also tried the Avant Window Navigator but found it was not so good to my liking.
The Gnome Do features the Advanced indicators which mimics the OS X dock and it is totally awesome.
